Cuban Medianoche Sandwich Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 sweet

  eggy bread rolls (use Cuban pan suave or pan de medianoche, challah, Hawaiian rolls, or other eggy sandwich rolls – see recipe notes)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

  or to taste
• 1 pound roast pork

  Use my Cuban roast pork recipe, Pernil, or use sliced roasted pork tenderloin
• 1 pound sliced ham

  glazed ham is great, or your favorite deli ham
• 4 ounces Swiss cheese

  or more to your preference
• 4 ounces sliced dill pickles

  or to taste

Instructions

• 1 Slice the rolls in half lengthwise. Butter the bottom half with softened butter.
  Spread the mustard on the top half.
• 2 Layer the sandwich with roast pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese and dill pickles.
  Top the medianoche with the top bread slice.
• 3 Slather extra butter over both sides of the sandwich.
• 4 Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the Cuban sandwich for 5-6 minutes
  per side, pressing it down very firmly with another pan or spatula to "press" it
  tightly, until warmed through and bread is nice and crispy. You can also use a
  sandwich press.
• 5 Remove, slice and serve.
